The Planning Board on Feb. 6 approved a permit application

WHITEFIELD — The Planning Board on Feb. 6 approved a permit application to construct a 6,000-square-foot commercial building. The applicant, real estate developer Transport Equipment Leasing Corp. of Andover, Mass., plans to construct the facility on a 2.5-acre property located off Route 3, across from Dollar General. Mark Sanborn, representing Transport Leasing Corp., did not disclose the building tenant, but those familiar with the project said it would be a telecommunications company. According to meeting minutes, Sanborn said “the company coming in will be good for Whitefield as it will be bringing cable to the area,” according to meeting minutes. As proposed, the 26-foot-high, 6,000 sq. ft. commercial building will be located on land owned by the Robert Stiles Revocable Trust. Half of the building will be office space and half will be a warehouse “for cable boxes/cables & connections,” Sanborn said.
